We have a bit of a love affair with Cardboard here on Red Ted Art. Similarly to Loo Rolls, it is a free and super versatile material and we have made so many toys from it that the kids love and play with all the time. With Christmas just over, we have an abundance of cardboard boxes in our house, so I thought sharing cardboard box craft ideas would be the thing to do.

The great thing about cardboard boxes, is that it is something that we tend to throw away. So you can basically just have a go and experiment and not worry about whether you are “wasting” anything. It makes a great canvas for children’s art and there is nothing like letting your kids loose on a cardboard box. Lots of opportunities to explore and discover themselves.

I have been off work for two weeks and away from classroom but looking at all your ideas gets me excited again. Love Everything. I save alot of boxes and cardboard already. Love the cupcake liner ideas too! Wow! Will be celebrating Winter fun in Arizona, but no snow in Phoenix. We will play with ice shapes. Try puffy paint:1 cup shaving cream with 1 cup glue and spread to create. When it drys it puffs to look like snow! Pretty cool stuff. Made alot of salt dough ornaments with preschoolers. Stars too for gifts! Thanks for your amazing creative ideas and website!
